I have a s14 with 4lug. I have nice wheels that are 4 lug, so i dont want to change to the 5 lug conversion. Is it possible to use the z32 brake calipers with a 4 lug rotor? is there any aftermarket brake kits available?

get the z32 stuff then redrill the rotor to 4 lug...done

excelS13 · 07-10-2008, 08:19 PM

would an aftermarket 4 lug rotor, with the same diameter, work?

an even cheaper upgrade than the z32 is the q45 upgrade which also need to be drilled to 4lug.

just because the diameter is the same doesn't mean the rest of the dimensions of the rotor are the same

besides rotor thickness you also have to account the depth of the rotor hat and its inner and outer diameters, among other things that i'm probably not thinking of

you find some bigger rotors and get some custom brackets made to fit with your calipers.

q45/j30 is a cheap upgrade and just get the rotors redrilled

88rotors has a deal they sell with 4 & 5 lug options. Search them in the advertiser's special section.

Best bang for the buck and brand new no need or rebuilds and other funny tasks. Improved brake fade resistance, braking power, stopping distance, less unsprung weight than stock brakes, you name it.

dude, you can basically do any brake upgrade that a 5 lugger can do. Just get them redrilled to 4 lug. As far as e-brake goes... you're gonna have to do some more work... but its very possible

There was a thread about z32 calipers and sentra se-r rotors but you'll have a hell of a time finding it. iirc it took a little extra work but not much
